16-0 regular season! Won games we should of lost. Broke records. Im pretty sure that the goals this team set at the beginning of the season wasnt to beat the Colts in week 10, or go 16-0. My guess is it was to win the AFC east and make the playoffs. Then go from there. As of today, they are still on target for that.
After week 2 we were saying that Brady was still rusty and noone knew when he'd be back.
After week 4 we were saying the Pats were lucky to beat the Ravens and could easily be 1-3.
After week 5 we were saying that the Pats are not the same team anymore and that no one knew if they would even win the East with a 3-2 record.
At the bye week we said that Brady was looking better and the defense was improving. But they had only done it against winless teams and they need to prove themselves against a top team in league.
Last night they smack around the best team in the league, in their home for 3 1/2 qtrs. Did the lose? Yes. They weren't beaten, they lost. They were two turnovers in the endzone away from blowing the Colts out. They were a foolisn coaching decision away from possibly winning the game. Brady was great. Moss was great. Welker was great. Vollmer was great. The defense showed that they can stop Manning better any Patriots defense in the past several years.
Matt Light, Sammy Morris, Fred Taylor, Ty Warren, TBC and Jarvis Green are all key contributers to this team that will make a difference when they return.
I am extremely optimistic about this team chances of getting to the SB. Did we say that after the Bronco's game? BB is still one of the best coaches in the game. This team learns from there mistakes, and I am sure they will use this game to their advantage. They showed last night they can beat the best team in the league. I'd rather them beat them in the playoffs then in the regular season. Just ask the Giants how that works.
